Rochester Center for Community Leadership

Develop Leadership

Overview

We understand leadership as a collaborative process through which individuals create change in their communities, whether or not they hold a position of authority. Leadership can be learned through reflective experience, and must be practiced to achieve competency and excellence.

Being a leader means:

Investing in an area of interest and/or concern

Understanding your values, passions, and talents

Developing skills to become effective at what you do

Having a willingness to take action and becoming engaged

Underlying all of these aspects of leadership at Rochester are our communal principles: fairness, freedom, honesty, inclusion, respect, and responsibility. These are our shared values that form the pillars of undergraduate student life, and they are infused throughout our leadership programs.
